NYAB Event - Shannon Ebner "Invisible Language Workshop"

Shannon Ebner "Invisible Language Workshop"

Wallspace

This event has ended.

Wallspace presents a solo exhibition of new work by Los Angeles-based artist Shannon Ebner. Over the past five years, Ebner has mined the porous territory of language by photographing words and letters of her own construction in environments that range from the landscape around Los Angeles to the space of the artist's studio. Envisioned as both an exhibition and an ongoing project series, Invisible Language Workshop sees Ebner broadening this investigation to include the linguistic potential of the photograph itself, moving away from photographing words and phrases towards a focus on the material supports for both language and photography. Taking to task the question, "when is a photographic sentence a sentence to photograph," Ebner constructs a mercurial visual system that relies on depiction while also rejecting the notion that a photograph must be exactly (or only) what we say it is.
